Meet the Bastards

Luke Gallagher

Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Nerd Bastards.com, Luke Gallagher - the love child of Michael Chikilis and Mr. Clean - can be found in Boston, Massachusetts, where he hopes to find continued inspiration and resonance in life through diversified, ambiguous, ambitions. He also wishes to have intimate relations with Christina Hendricks (a man can dream). He has been a professional wrestler, student of Jiu Jitsu, attempted body builder, aspiring actor and hot wings competitor. While genetically programmed to live life as a jock, he couldn't (mentally) be more opposite. His impressive action figure/collectible, comic book and DVD/Bluray collections, along with his love for cupcakes stimulate his nerd riddled thirst.
"I am here to chew bubblegum and write stupid shit. And I'm all out of bubblegum." - Luke Gallagher

Mark Poynter

At 45, Mark has newsstand bought comics older than most of the other writers at Nerdbastards in his collection. Growing up nerdy means that Mark remembers things like big floppy disks, bank accounts before ATMs, having VCR parties to record bootleg copies of Anime and BBC TV shows, and U.S. television with three channels and bunny ears. Years of sitting the nerd sidelines and Monday morning quarterbacking suddenly exploded when asked to write an introduction to an article on Nerdbastards. The rest they say in hushed whispers . . . is history. View Stories

Jeremy R! Hudson

Hailing from parts unknown (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.. it's in Canada!) jeremy r! hudson is a broadcaster, writer, artist and self styled new media renaissance man. Once described as the second last hope of the human race. Pop-culture, comic books, science fiction, video games and your sister are just a few of his many interests. When not trying to be a real life Buckaroo Banzai (wait, Buckaroo Banzai wasn't real?!?) he helps raise the next generation of nerds with his lovely and far too forgiving wife. He can be stalked via twitter, facebook and following him home at night. View Stories

Jason Tabrys

The former features editor, Jason left his daily role with Nerdbastards to work as a contributor for Screen Rant. He also contributes to Den of Geek US, Uproxx and Comic Book Resources (as a guest contributor). View Stories

Jason McAnelly

Jason is perhaps best known to everyone as “that one guy who did that thing,” but few people know of his struggles in life. After making a name for himself training zombies to make pasta, he wandered the earth in search of the sacred cheese. Though the cheese eluded him, he discovered a talent for writing and has been working on perfecting his skills ever since. He is currently working on a fantasy novel and tapping keys for the folks at NerdBastards. Eventually, he will be rich and famous and way cooler than you. View Stories

James Daniels

The entity known to cyberspace as Scooter Atreides, and to the collection agency as James Paul Daniels is resurrected by the Almighty Internet once during each temporal cycle to amuse the denizens of the Web with his encyclopedic knowledge of DEVO, Dune, and MST3K. He will do this until the universe collapses to a singularity, and the cycle begins anew....James has written for this site before, and he will write for it again.
While in corporeal form: James enjoys seafood, New Wave music, bad movies, and Hispanic women. He can be found putttering around on Facebook when he should be doing more important things View Stories

James Iniguez

Researcher. Musician. DJ. Performance artist. Snacktivist. Vice-Princess of Candyland. James Rouse Iñiguez may seem like your run of the mill hyphenate, but what makes him standout in a sea of Internet weirdos? An obvious and unhealthy obsession with Joss Whedon, duh! James has a bachelors degree in Film Theory and a Master’s Degree in Sexuality Studies, which means he’s very qualified to talk about really academic things like Cersei and Jamie’s relationship, or why Charmander has to burn things just to feel. A native San Franciscan, James plans to never leave the bubble because the real world is scary. You can follow his coffee infused shade-bombs on Twitter, @jimmyswear View Stories

William Monteith

In the halls of derelict schools across the mid-south, he was mocked and beaten mercilessly. Shoved into lockers, made fun of for his weight, and picked on for his odd fashion choices, William Monteith had no choice but to accept who he truly was: a nerd. Don't let his doughy exterior fool you, dear friends, for inside beats the heart of a mighty warrior. He rises every morning at the same heroic time, 2:45 pm, he dons the same heroic gear, a Batman hoodie and cargo shorts, and he sips his heroic coffee while heroically writing about things very few people care about. And he does it for you, dear reader. All for you. When he isn't battling demons in Painkiller or rival gangs in Saints Row, he's usually drawing and coming up with tattoo designs he is far too scared to actually have placed on his body and cheering on men in spandex battling for dominance. He may not be the writer you deserve, but, damn it, he's the one you need. View Stories

Random

A news and entertainment blog for nerd pop culture. We are vulgar, debaucherous, and funny bastards that pilfer the internet (or interwebz, if you like) for the news you need so that you don't have to. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll often shake your fist in an angry fury but your time here is worth the price of admission (which is free for those of you not paying attention)
